When does the pain stop?

Yesterday I asked a friend (who has a two year old son):

"When will it stop being painful?"

I meant the heart ache, the feeling of being so much in love that it hurts. But I didn't have to explain that, as she knew exactly what I meant. It's such a cliche, but now I know that it's also true.

Her answer was:

"It doesn't stop hurting. It just gets less constant and overwhelming. You get used to it after a while."
